Spam your server on every site possible

my biggest piece of advice would be to engage with the community! its a great way to get your name out there. ive had lots of players give me pointers and thats a big thing in helping create a server without a large team behind it.

interested in teaming up? i have a server being made. we are about to hit the beta stage and could really use a partner who knows what they are doing to possibly go big with. i have some regulars already aswell. as of rn im a one man team but could give you a tour of my skill set of what i can offer

all i can do is give some surface level advice since the entire server market is way over saturated


have something that makes you stand out with something people have been asking for.
have a fairly big marketing budget and dont prioritise a donation page over server quality.
get lucky.
have a nice clean not too flashy advert that catches the eye without looking like its run by someone who isnt old enough to be on the internet, im sure youve seen those sorts.
just advertise everywhere.
